Abstract
We have analyzed differential miRNA expression in PCa cells treated with Res.
Using miRNA microarrays we found that 23 miRNAs were significantly down-regulated and 28 miRNAs were significantly up-regulated after Res treatment. The down-regulated miRs included miR-17-92 and miR-106ab...

Abstract
We examined the impact of CR on a model of inflammation-associated pancreatitis and pancreatic dysplasia, with a focus on the mechanistic contribution of systemic IGF-1. Administration of a 30% CR diet for 14 weeks decreased serum IGF-1 levels and hindered pancreatic ductal lesion formation and dysp...

Abstract
We hypothesized that activating NRF2-dependent cytoprotective gene expression with sulforaphane (SFN) affords protection against CS-induced lung damage by inhibiting chemokine production. Results indicate that in the human BEAS-2B epithelial cell line, 5 μM SFN activated NRF2-dependent gene express...
